Agribusiness systems
The opportunity I found in agribusiness systems, is working
at a feed store or shadowing the owner of a feed store to see how the business side actually works or helping
the student create their own business, for instance a lawn service or showing
animals for people, or getting paid to break horses or cattle or train
dogs

Animal systems
The SAE I found for this topic would be a student who is
likes the production side of agriculture becoming a breeder or a specific breed
of livestock for a purpose, when I was in high school I breed show sheep and
pigs. This SAE would work in any neighborhood, as long as you can modify the
animal you decide to breed like going from cattle to rabbits for someone who
lives in the city limits
Biotechnology systems
I would try to find my students an internship for
my students to work with a company who deals with making wormer or fly spray.
This wouldn’t be a SAE I would like to incorporate, because exposing students
to a lab could put them in danger in my opinion, plus it would be hard to
business in the area I plan on teaching in I couldn’t find any drug companies
in the area.
Cluster leadership business skills
Getting my students involved with volunteering and
with doing LDE’s and CDE’s, so that my students can learn how to talk and
interact in business situations I would also incorporate public speaking events
to in to my class stuff.

and Rancher program.
Environmental service systems
I would find my students an internship with Texas
Parks and Wildlife working hands on with people and outside. I feel this would
be a great SAE, because it would be monitored and very hands on manner also
deals with volunteering and learning to work with others
Food products and processing systems
I would like for one of my students to get a
chance to work at a slaughter house. I would like to use this as a SAE, but in
the area I want to work in I only found one big slaughter house and slaughter
houses often get bad reps over nothing. I could incorporated slaughter house in
to not only my SAE, but in regular introduction agriculture classes
Natural resource systems
I like this SAE, because Natural resource systems
to me deals with wild animals, so I would find a place close to me that deals
with wild animals being nursed back to health or studying flight patterns of
birds. I found an internship with the usda
Plant systems
I would use this type of SAE for my students who are in to
horticulture. I would try to find a green house or a plant grower that my
students can either go volunteer at or find a paying job at a green house, so
that student can get a hands on view and see how far plant systems work from
seed to flower and will help students understand how important plants actually
are to the environment
Power structural and technical system
I would try to find a tractor restoration business to work
for, or help them get a job with a hardware store or like a company that deals
with farm and ranch supplies or fence building materials. I would incorporate this
SAE with my regular lessons, so my students can further understand how our
lives are touched by agriculture on a daily basis.
